Abstract

Subdural interhemispheric empyema was diagnosed by angiography and computerized tomography (CT) in a 7-year-old boy suffering from acute left hemiparesis. After neurosurgical intervention his condition improved. Peptostreptococcus intermedius was cultured from the empyema. One year after hospitalisation the boy is in good condition. The importance of the CT-scanning for diagnosis and management of brain abscess or empyema is stressed.
